WHAT WE OFFER
MUSIC
SLA is dedicated to helping students have a rounded education and train individuals to be service minded. Therefore, we offer a wide variety of music classes from Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade. Each grade at the elementary level focuses on different areas of music including but not limited to music appreciation to Ukulele, Band, and Choir. At the high school level students may participate in Band, Choir, Il Voce (auditioned choral group), and/or Handbells. Groups travel to area churches sharing their gifts and talents. On a rotational basis, some groups travel longer distances once a year.
ARTS
Our Creator God gave humanity the gift of creativity. SLA offers multiple opportunities for students to develop, practice, and display their artistic talents. Students grades PK-12 participate in various forms of fine art right in the classroom. Art 1, Photography, Creative Artistic Exploration, Drama, and Drawing 1 are offered at the high school level. High School students also have the opportunity to take creative courses such as Graphic Design 1 and 2 and participate in the Award-Winning Yearbook program.

South Lancaster Academy's National Honor Society chapter was founded in 1987 and actively promotes the cultivation of student leaders on our campus. In addition to guiding our student organizations and setting a high example academically for other students, NHS members promote regular charity drives and initiatives throughout the year to promote service to their fellow humans.

CAMP SONRISE
Camp Sonrise is a summer day-camp serving Central Massachusetts. We provide a safe place for children to have fun, make new friends, and learn more about Jesus.
AFTER SCHOOL CARE
SLA recognizes that not everyone is able to pick their students up at dismissal time so we offer after school care for our families on school days Monday - Thursday until 5:30 PM and Fridays until 3:00 PM. We offer an hourly rate and request pre-planning by filling out the After Care form and turning it into the elementary office each week by Thursday afternoon.
HOMESCHOOL BRIDGE
For students who are homeschooling but wish to have access to group activities and unique opportunities that SLA offers, you may choose to be a part of our Homeschool Bridge Program. Participating students will join SLA students for music, PE, field trips, and joint worships such as Week of Prayer programs for a reduced tuition rate.
